Price of fame: Zayn Malik has returned to Twitter 48 hours after quitting it

After amassing over five million followers Zayn Malik quit Twitter, and then rejoined again 48 hours later.

The One Direction star apologised to his fans for leaving them after making the dramatic u-turn.

He said: 'Sorry, I was getting some abuse on twitter but I dont want to let my fans down. So I am back!! :) x'.

The news was instantly greeted by followers thanking him and praising the singer for returning to the social network site.

He later tweeted: 'And thanks for all your messages of support. I really do love all you guys, your support never ceases 2 amaze me xxx.'

The 19-year-old sensationally said goodbye to the social network site after getting fed up with people posting abusive messages.

He sent what was supposed to be his final tweet on Tuesday, and said: 'The reason i don't tweet as much as i use to, is because I'm sick of all the useless opinions and hate that i get daily goodbye twitter :)'.

However, Zayn promised to not completely cut all communication with his legion of admirers and added: 'My fans that have something nice to say can tweet me on the one direction account , :) x'.

Despite informing the world that they could still send messages to the One Direction page, his supporters inundated him with messages begging him to reconsider.

The topics #ComeBackZayn and #ZaynComeBack even began trending after hysterical girls pleaded with him to stay on the site.

Their positive words obviously worked as the pop star came back to the site and vowed never to quit it again.

The singer, who recently added a blonde highlight to his quiff, became incensed with users claiming his relationship with Little Mix singer Perrie Edwards was fake.

Some people even accused Zayn of cheating on the reigning X Factor winner.

He explained to friends on social messenger Kik: 'Don't worry about me, im fine. I just deleted my account because of all the hate i was getting just by tweeting something simple.

'And all the rumours of me smoking weed and cheating. I dont need to read any of that negativity.'

A source close to Zayn said: 'They couldn't be happier, it's ridiculous that anyone thinks otherwise.

'When they're together it's like excited teenagers getting together for the first time.'

Within minutes of reactivating his account Zayn directed attention to his bands new single and tweeted: '@onedirection: Here it is...The #1DBigAnnoucement from the boys!! Watch it now to check out their MASSIVE news!! 1DHQ x'.

The news that the boys are releasing a single doesn't seem that exciting or groundbreaking considering making music is their job.
